"Brainstorming is a group or individual creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its member(s). The term was popularized by Alex Faickney Osborn in the 1963 book Applied Imagination. Osborn claimed that brainstorming was more effective than individuals working alone in generating ideas, although more recent research has questioned this conclusion.[1] Today, the term is used as a catch all for all group ideationsessions." -Wikipedia

Oh really?

So I told someone about my business plans and I was berated with, I got a bad feeling. 
I said join us for discussions. 
"NO!" the person shot back. 
I said okay, so how should we look at it. 
"Don't collaborate with them!"
I said okay then we just meet up to make sure that we know how to lay the foundation for the industry, no agreements will be made to split profit. We'll go our own separate ways. 
"I told you already, not to do these things, focus on your studies." 
But that's why I'm selling my company and passing my responsibilities on to someone else. 
More irrational screaming. 

I am at a loss. Not knowing what to do. I shouted and I kept repeating my point that nothing is cast into stone. I just wanted to hear your opinion. Not you screaming about how I didn't listen to you and how you're always right... 

I sped home and almost got into a fight with a cabbie. We go to the road shoulder and I saw his car camera. Not wanting to be famous overnight. I drove away. I am so tired. 

Enough... its enough...

I am tired. 

I supported your dreams even when people around you cast so much doubt and fear. Even when you started to doubt yourself. I said go. I encouraged you. Not to study but to go for your dreams. That in the process requires you to study. 

But for me, I am expected to study just like you in order to do what I like and what I want. 
But I went a step further. I am tapering down my responsibilities already. But no. Not enough. You just keep pushing me. I've decided to sell everything. 

Haven't had my lunch and it still hurts deeply (no link I know). The person you were so vulnerable with, whom you trusted the most stabbed you. But it feels as though a thousand knives went through me. It's crazy. 

I will not allow history to repeat.
